League of Legends teams that have already qualified for National Team Trials.

MSSA's Protea League of Legends team that represented South Africa in Jakarta, 2016.

MSSA's rules allow a free berth for the current members of the National Protea eSports Team to play in the annual National Team Trials.MSSA's 2017 National Team Trials shall be held on 3 & 4 June 2017.

It is most exciting to see the number of teams that have already qualified for the Team Trials for League of Legends.

Already 15 teams have qualified, and of those 15 teams, 7 of the teams are school teams. The upward mobility of the school teams shows that there is a lot of promise in South African gaming. The development of the school teams is a cornerstone of the future success of South African gaming on an international level.

It is at such National Team Trials that the team to officially represent South Africa shall be selected.

It should however be noted that, although the team has qualified, the players that earned such qualification may not be substituted for players that have not qualified for such 'Trials'.
